3 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large sweet onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 medium bell pepper, sliced (optional)
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
1/4 cup beef broth (optional)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Add the sliced steak strips to the hot skillet, being careful not to overcrowd (work in batches if necessary). Season with salt, pepper, and half of the smoked paprika.
Sear the steak until browned with slight caramelization on edges, about 3 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove from skillet and set aside on a warm plate, cover loosely with foil.
In the same skillet with the beef drippings, add diced potatoes and sliced onions. Season with remaining smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add bell peppers if using.
Cook the potato mixture until golden and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 8-10 minutes until fork-tender with crisp edges.
Reduce heat to medium and clear a small space in center of pan. Add minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Add optional herbs at this stage.
If using Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, or beef broth, add now and stir to incorporate, scraping up any browned bits from pan bottom.
Return steak and accumulated juices to the skillet, gently folding everything together. Add optional cherry tomatoes if using. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to reheat steak and meld flavors.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve hot directly from the skillet.
Notes
For best results, slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Make sure to preheat your skillet properly before adding the steak to achieve a good sear.
Pre-cooking the potatoes for 4-5 minutes can reduce overall cooking time if you’re in a hurry.
This dish reheats well but is best when the steak is added at the last minute to prevent overcooking.
